Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to write. And that would be me. I've moved my journal about my writing life over to LiveJournal http://susanwrites.livejournal.com
This blog will be filled with writing prompts and exercises so we can all write on right now! Please feel free to share your favorites.

New website is finally complete

For the few folks that have been kind enough to read my blog, and comment, I'm sorry for going silent. The website revamping simply had to come to an end. I started it, with the help of my terrific site designer, on 2/15. It is now 6/11. I, silly blonde California girl, thought we would have it done in a month. Ha! Well we could have if I had kept it small but I had big plans and decided to go for it all. The teaching guide database gave us the most trouble but even that is cooperating now.

I have learned that the older I get, the less I can multi-task. I stopped everything while working on this site and now I have to go around and find the pieces of myself that I have left all around. Learn to balance you say? Yeah right. That's not going to happen. But that's okay.

Now it is back to writing and working on publicity for the new picture book and I should probably schedule a day or two to clean house. Hmmm....or I could just go read a book.

I can really understand the multi-tasking thing. Egads, does it ever stop? Anyway, took me a while to get my websites up and running and it's like it's total consuming if you're going through that sort of thing. Love your website btw and love your books...I used to write for children but started on the soul mate anthology, then fiction...egads, there's that multi-tasking thing again, huh?

Who am I? I was born on the Cancer/Leo cusp and share a birthday with Ernest Hemingway and Robin Williams.
The similarities don't stop there as I can go from depressed to ecstatic without ever passing go.
I feel scared most of the time though my friends call me brave and I find it easier to believe in my
friends than to belive in my own abilities to make what I want out of my life.

Who am I? A wife, a mother, a daughter, and even, gulp, a grandmother.

Who am I? A writer who never gets tired of playing with words, even when the words are hard to find.
A writer of books for children and articles for grown-ups and many things in-between.
